Background:

• Priapism, characterized by prolonged erections, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
• Traditional diagnostic methods for priapism often rely on patient history, potentially causing treatment delays and long-term complications.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review current evidence on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in priapism diagnosis and management.
• To identify challenges and future directions for AI in addressing priapism.

Main Methods:

• This study is a narrative review of existing literature on AI in priapism.
• Analysis of AI's potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and predicting treatment needs for priapism.

Main Results:

• AI models demonstrate potential in predicting surgical intervention needs and improving diagnostic accuracy for priapism.
• AI can aid in predicting long-term consequences associated with priapism.
• Current AI implementation in urology for priapism is understudied, requiring further development for reliable clinical decision support.

Conclusions:

• AI offers promising avenues for overcoming diagnostic and therapeutic hurdles in priapism.
• Developing dependable AI models is crucial for assisting physicians in priapism diagnosis and treatment strategies.
• Continued research is essential to fully integrate AI into the management of priapism.
